Hi guys. I have been asking general questions about G2 in the general G2 forum, and from the answers I got looks like a good idea to buy a it (I don't need a high end phone of 2016). So my question is, if I buy the D801 version, is it a good idea to upgrade it to 5.0.2 (I mean OTA, to the original OS not a custom ROM)? Is lollipop working well for you? I know this is the forum for mostly those who want to mod their phone but since many people here are tinkerers I thought maybe it is a good idea to ask this question here.

Hey guys, I'm currently running a ROM and I want to switch, I'm finding a lot I like on here, but they're just in the general S3 section. If I flash a rom, does it have to be in the Verizon section? How do I know what roms can work for my Verizon S3?

I'll be nice but others might not be. These forums are divided up for a reason so if you like your phone, stick to the ROMS for your specific device. If you have a S3 I535 for Verizon, then stick to the Verizon forums. Any ROM SHOULD flash to your phone as long as you stick to the instructions in the op. I mean this, read the OP thoroughly before you flash a new ROM and follow the instructions exactly as the dev says. And welcome to XDA> Also, Google is your best friend when in doubt or if you screw up. Just because this is Q&A, doesn't mean you will always get an answer.
Good luck and happy flashing.
These types of threads usually get little or no attention. Both of your questions are common sense questions since you're supposed to flash only carrier specific roms in the first place to avoid hardware bricks and you suppose to flash them yourself to see how the roms work on your phone plus to see if you like the rom. All the roms work but you can still encounter random problems.
Anyone else seeing this update on their Verizon S6? I'm still not sure what it is for. Phone says I still have 5.0.2 but I'm pretty sure that is what I had before.

Sorry guys, I had taken my ambien. Only excuse I have..
Don't upgrade if you're a rooted user!!!!! I'm the one who posted about upgrading yesterday and now I can't downgrade or re-root. I'm stuck with a battery draining, bloated, non-rooted phone until our genius s6 devs come up with a way of rooting.

You can't find anything because there has not been anything found yet to overcome this change.
When someone does, they will start a new thread with the news for all to see.
Ok im having trouble understanding this. Im new and ive read for countless hours but it seems as though i have to install a custom firmware?? Not sure what a kernel is so im leaning against that. I have a z ultra googleplay edition running 5.1 lollipop. Should I downgrade to kitkat 4.4? Is that even possible? Ive heard by unlocking bootloader you lose camera function and screen resolution which I defenitely dont want to do. Any help would be grear. It seems as though even the people that own stores that told me they can do ut are giving me the run around. If anyone knows someone that has done this before and put me in contact it would greatly be appreciated as well.
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. The best place to get information and ask questions is in your device's specific forum here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z-ultra They are the experts on your device.
Hello, i decided it was time to root my 16gb D802 G2. i am newly registered though i have been reading the forums regularly and even have stock rooted my phone because lg being lg. Despite that, i was at complete loss when i head down custom roms and i dont know where subforum ask about the "best" lp rom for my phone.
So i wonder if maybe you could point me to where i can find terminologies and in which subforum i should post my previous question.
Also as far as i know there is no way to brick your phone without a way to recover, still if there is an irrecoverable brick it would be nice to know more about it. Thx for your time
Hello there, thank you for using XDA Assist.
HERE is a list of terminology and all you need to know about root and android words. HERE is your rooting guide for your device, or basically a compilation of youtube videos to root any variant of your phone. and HERE is where you usually ask your device related questions.
Hope i helped! Happy rooting!
I was about to start a new thread asking my question, but don't like to do that until I check to see if it's been answered already. The problem with this is I'm not even confident I know the correct terms to perform a valid search.
So, here are my questions: I'm planning to buy a used Samsung Galaxy S4 (AT&T) and I want to root it. Are there "versions" on this phone that are "rootable" and "non-rootable"? Which versions are which and what do I ask the seller to identify the version- the baseband version? Are there versions that themselves are not rootable, but can be easily upgraded/downgraded to another version that IS rootable?
I have the opportunity to buy an S4 that is on 4.4.2, running baseband I337UCUFNB1. If I buy this phone is it rootable?
Can anyone tell me if these questions have been answered already and if not, where should I post the above questions? As you can see, I have a lot of them.
I'm not necessarily interested in running custom ROMs, just want root and full control over bloatware, etc.
Thanks!
Any thoughts/advice on the best way to post these questions? I'd like someone more knowledgeable about this to give me some guidance.
